DRUM TUNINGS FOR DIFFERENT MUSIC STYLES
Here are some #drumtuning basics by genre:

Rock Music - Most #rock drummers use larger drums with a relatively low tuning that limits the resonance of the toms. There’s an emphasis on the “crack“ of the snare.

Metal Music - A very tight, focused sound is preferred by #heavymetal drummers. Drums are large & tuned low, but the snare is tuned higher to get more volume and cut through the mix. Kick drums are tuned to emphasize the attack of the beater.

Pop Music - This genre calls for a balanced sound that’s open & has more resonance than louder rock. Most pop #drummers use medium-size #drums tuned to get an even sound.

Jazz Music - Drummers in #jazz combos typically tune their drums higher & want to get as much resonance as possible. The drum sizes are typically smaller, which helps with the higher tuning.
